It was 70º ƒ and sunny with a mild breeze friday evening as I ran my 4 mile training run. 12 hours later it was 29º and sleeting with a 25 mph winds and our long training run was cancelled. Tomorrow it should be 50º and sunny and we will run, dag nabbit!
People here in Oklahoma have a saying, ‘If you don’t like the weather, wait an hour, it will change’. And indeed that often is the case, especially in spring. Being connected to the world via blog, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn you realize that that same saying is used in many parts of the world, not just in Okieland. People take a perverse pride in how screwy their weather is.
I was born and raised on the beach in California. The popular imagination of the world says it is always sunny there. but in truth through much of the year there are early morning low clouds that create an overcast grey sheet along the coast. It burns away by 10-12 and it becomes a beautiful day most of the time but San Diego even has a saying for one of the summer months, calling it the June Gloom because of how much cloud cover there is, lasting for days at a time.
Don’t get me started on the other places I have lived; Connecticut, Ohio, Michigan, Massachusetts, Maryland and Virginia. Actually they aren’t that bad, I just wanted an excuse to list all the places I have lived.
Where have you lived and which place had the screwiest weather?
